Question

Milana the product of two successive even numbers is 24648 find the largest number

Answer 1

This is your answer correct

Answer 2

Answer:

158 or -156

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Since we are given that the another number is even successive number

So, another number = x+2

Since we are given that Milana the product of two successive even numbers is 24648

So, $(x)(x+2)=24648$

$x^2+2x-24648=0$

$x^2-156x+158x-24648=0$

$x(x-156)+158(x-156)=0$

$(x-156)(x+158)=0$

$x=156,-158$

If x = 156

So, x+2=156+2=158

Thus the largest number is 158.

If x = -158

So, x+2= -158 +2=-156

So, the largest number is -156
